2016 Honey Badger: 5/62.5 35m guaranteed on a 155m cap (average per year is 8% of the teams overall salary cap)
2014 Earl Thomas: 4/40 on a 133m salary cap (average per year is 8% of the teams overall salary cap)
If the cap goes up to 170...care to guess what 8% of that is?
13.7m average per year.
It's also worth noting that Eric is a far more accomplished player than either of those guys.
Seems elite safety pay has increased proportionately with the salary cap increases to me.
